Mad for Mad Men

Forget Vogue's Fashion's Night Out, on Wednesday That's Not My Age will be having a Fashion Night In, watching the start of series four of Mad Men. From Miuccia Prada to Marks & Spencer - this fifties prom dress, tailored jacket and full skirt are all from M&S' autumn/winter 2010 collection - the award-winning series has inspired an industry. Can't wait to see what's in store along mid-sixties Madison Avenue.

Not just for tall people

Never let it be said that this blogger is sizeist. A recent post on maxi skirts and year-round style drew a couple of comments from petite readers who said they didn't think they could wear a floor-length skirt. Being a thoughtful, inclusive kind of person, That's Not My Age promised an alternative. And, because we're all supposed to be channeling Mad Men right now, I've opted for a fifties-inspired theme.

And here's a final thought on maxi skirts...

Personally, I'm all for women of any height wearing maxi skirts. If the garment is properly proportioned and not too voluminous, then there's no reason why it can't look fabulous .

What do you think?
